Pros

-Very good health insurance -Nice corporate office with plenty of "creature comforts" -Ethical and genuinely interested in doing the right thing -Strong work-life balance programs; but most people are too overworked to take advantage of them

Cons

-Compensation equity issues and lack of pay for individual performance -Limited advancement opportunities for stellar performers and high potentials; leads to a culture of extreme competitiveness for a limited number of development track roles in Sales & Marketing -Very hierarchical "yes" culture, which is overly process driven -Not a good place for experienced hires and longer term employees who aren't at Director level
